Effects of Imitation and Nonimitation on Children's Subsequent Imitative Behavior
The Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1977Summary The purpose of this study was to determine the differential effects of imitating versus not imitating children on their subsequent tendency to imitate a model. Fifty-four kindergarten children matched on age and sex performed a simple three-choice task of feeding a “Cookie Monster.” There were four experimental conditions in which an adult ...

Economic Inquiry, 1994
Political behavior generates private benefits by helping people fit in with desired friends. A voter imitates other voters, but at the same time they imitate him. An equilibrium solution requires exogenous variables: the narrow self‐interest of the participants.

Imitation: A Mechanism of Play Behavior
The American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1980Abstract Imitation, as a critical mechanism of play behavior, is a primary learning process in child development that has received scant attention in therapists’ work with children. The purpose of this study is to conceptualize a system of imitation for occupational therapy within the framework of play behavior, and to ...

Intertemporal imitation behavior of interbank offered rate submissions
Journal of Banking & Finance, 2021This paper addresses a problem that may damage the reliability of an interbank offered rate (IBOR) system. Using evidence from the Shanghai Interbank Offered Rate (SHIBOR), we show that some SHIBOR panel banks imitate peers’ quotes after observing them on the next business day.

Imitation from observation using behavioral learning
2022Imitation from observation (IfO) is a learning paradigm that consists of training autonomous agents in a Markov Decision Process (MDP) by observing an expert's demonstrations and without access to its actions. These demonstrations could be sequences of environment states or raw visual observations of the environment.

Imitative behavior: Network antecedents and performance consequences
2008Organizational networks are generally considered major antecedents of mutual influence in adopting similar practices, typically via a structure of dense ties, or closure. We propose that under conditions of competitive interdependence, closure may be associated with links established to access resources and knowledge and become a possible source of ...

Infants' responses to mothers' imitative behaviors
Infant Mental Health Journal, 1985Several investigators have suggested that young infants' smiles and vocalizations following their mothers' imitative behaviors might reflect infant recognition that the mother's behavior is imitative or at least contingent. This study investigated whether infants smile and vocalize more frequently subsequent to maternal imitative than non-imitative ...

Learning responsive robot behavior by imitation
2013 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2013In this paper we present a new approach for learning responsive robot behavior by imitation of human interaction partners. Extending previous work on robot imitation learning, that has so far mostly concentrated on learning from demonstrations by a single actor, we simultaneously record the movements of two humans engaged in on-going interaction tasks ...

An Investigation of Differential Reinforced Imitation Training on Imitative Behavior
The Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1974Abstract The function of reinforcement as a performance versus a learning variable was examined with the use of a number of varying imitation training conditions. Forty white and 40 black Ss were used. The analysis consisted of five 2 (Testing Situation) × 2 (White versus Black children) × 8 (Training Conditions) factorials with the use of an analysis ...
